Do you ever have those days that you just stay in and cook so much of one thing so that you can stock your freezer up? This is how I spent my day today. This morning I went out and purchased many pounds of mushrooms of all shapes and sizes and now I am sauteing them in batches to freeze-up. I would have never even thought about doing this, but I learned the trick just this past fall when I spent some time...
One of the most rewarding things anyone who enjoys cooking can do for themselves is grow a herb garden. There is nothing better than adding fresh herbs to your recipes, both for the taste and for the health benefits. I find that having herbs on hand has also encouraged me to be more experimental with what I am cooking. My hope is that this will help motivate those of you who have yet to give it a try to...
Something as simple as cooking scrambled eggs might seem like a trivial task, but the devil is in the details and a few key points can make the difference between boring old scrambled eggs or a great, fluffy and delicious breakfast that will make people ask for seconds.
It’s of course important to choose good quality pastured eggs coming from naturally fed chickens. The difference won’t be...
Coconut oil, olive oil and butter or clarified butter are delicious fats that are also healthy for you, but the real original Paleo fats are animal fats. I know that a lot of people following a Paleo diet end up consuming those fats only very rarely partly because they are harder to find, but also because more work needs to be done with them to obtain a pure fat to cook with. In other words, they need to...

Clarified butter, also called Ghee in Indian cuisine, is simply butter with the milk proteins, sugars and water removed. It’s perfect for people who want to stay 100% Paleo or who might worry that some constituents like lactose or casein in the butter might cause health problems. I personally prefer consuming clarified butter because I’ve been dealing with leaky gut and autoimmune problems for...
Lets not kid ourselves, one of the nicest things about the Paleo diet is the fact that we can eat unlimited amounts of meat. Red meat, fatty meat, anything will do as long as it has been fed and treated properly. Like so many others following the conventional wisdom way of thinking, I use to think that high quantity of fatty red meat would cause a quantity of problems latter in life.
I’ve now...
Stainless steel cookware is definitely my favorite way to cook all my Paleo meals, but it can be a bit tricky at first. Anybody who has had some piece of meat sticking to the pan will know what I’m talking about. Once you get the trick with those pans, you probably won’t want to use anything else.
Of course, what’s interesting to us paleolithic eaters, is that stainless pans...
It’s easy to get lost in all the cuts of meats available at our butcher and it seems so obvious for him that we end up buying the same cuts of meat over and over again because we’re afraid to try out other stuff.
I wanted to make a short article with pictures of the different cuts of pork, beef and lamb to help you diversify your next visit at the butcher. Keep in mind that the parts of the...
